Abstract

See full text

Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that biases a word line of a block in NAND memory to a first voltage level, biases a source-side select gate and a drain-side select gate of the block to a second voltage level, and issues a discharge erase pulse to bitlines and a source of the block, wherein the discharge erase pulse is issued at a third voltage level, wherein the third voltage level is greater than the first voltage level and the second voltage level, and wherein the third voltage level is less than a fourth voltage level of a standard erase pulse. In one example, the discharge erase pulse injects holes into pillars of the block and bypasses an erase of cells in the pillars of the block.
